Parameter Description
Enable 802.11k
802.11k standard allows  faster roaming of clients between access
points within the same network. Clients supporting 802.11k standard
can request a list of neighbor access points with their signal levels
and Wi-Fi channel numbers. The device does not need to probe all of
the available channels, but selects an access point to roam to from
the list.
Move the switch to the right if you need to use 802.11k standard.
Enable 802.11v
802.11v   roaming   allows   improving   the   wireless   client   load
balancing. 
If the wireless access point supports  802.11v standard, then with a
large number of devices connected to this point, a request may be
sent to some clients to switch to a less loaded point with the same
network parameters or to transfer from a loaded band to a freer band
(in   case  the   SSID   and   security   settings   are   the   same   in   both
frequency bands) to improve operation of each client. The request is
advisory, upon that the device does not forcibly disconnect clients. 
Move the switch to the right if you need to use 802.11v standard.
The switch is displayed if the Enable 802.11k switch is moved to
the right.
B/G protection
Available on the 2.4 GHz tab.
The 802.11b and 802.11g protection function is used to minimize
collisions between devices of your wireless network.
Select a value from the drop-down list.
• Auto:   The   protection   function   is   enabled   and   disabled
automatically   depending   on  the  state   of  the   network   (this
value is  recommended  if your  wireless local area network
consists of both 802.11b and 802.11g devices).
• Always On: The protection function is always enabled (this
setting can substantially lower the efficiency of your wireless
network).
• Always Off: The protection function is always disabled.
